“Generally, in politics, when you change your positions or your image, the only people who believe you have changed are the ones who used to like you and don’t anymore. The people who used to dislike you, who you are trying to appease by your metamorphosis, don’t think you’ve changed at all and generally still can’t stand you.” –Dick Morris (writing on the Presidential Primaries and John McCain in particular).

Too bad the Virginia GOP didn’t hire Dick Morris to advise them on the disastrous, so called Transportation Compromise bill (AKA Bill Howell’s Tax Increase Bill).
